About Our Test Menu
The Test Menu site is a work in progress and
is subject to change. For more information about CPT Codes, specimen
requirements, specific methodologies, specimen transport
considerations, panel components, IUO/RUO, tests and reflex testing
processes, please consult with the Quest Diagnostics printed Reference
Manual or Directory of Services that applies to your geographic
region, or contact your Quest Diagnostics representative. This site is
subject to updates and you should "refresh" each time you access this site
CPT Codes
The CPT Codes provided are based on AMA
Guidelines and are for informational purposes only. CPT Coding is the
sole responsibility of the billing party. Please direct any questions
regarding CPT Coding to the payer being billed.
Panels and Profiles
If you have any questions regarding the
individual components of a panel or profile, please cross-reference
your hard copy version of Quest Diagnostics Reference Manual or
Directory of Services or call your Quest Diagnostics Representative.
Tests offered in any Quest Diagnostics panel or profile may be ordered
individually using the Quest Diagnostics Test Requisition Form.
Reflex Tests
Quest Diagnostics offers its clients three
types of reflex testing; standard required reflex tests, standard
reflex tests and client specific reflex tests. Clients order reflex
testing when they want additional tests performed automatically if the
results of the first test meet or exceed the specified criteria. This
range is determined by either medical experts at Quest Diagnostics in
accordance with standard medical practice or by the client. The reflex
test is almost always an additional charge above the initial test.
